The table row with id="x0040" show be at the top of the
browser window as in Firefox or in Internet Explorer 6/7.

Oversight.
It should have been reported separately and/or more carefully/
thoroughly tested in bug 331609
Linking to named tags on a webpage does not work

> What can be done instead?
Report it, ideally with a reduced testcase.
Today, I will mention it and add it into my IE 8 bugs webpage.

I believe IE 7 passes this test. So, it looks like this is a
regression.

Right or wrong I settled for option 3.

OK - but

Andreas and BootNic,
I updated the testcase and the bug report on my webpage.

Oh! Over here! I can explain.
You can't use just any element as an anchor, you have to use an anchor
element.
<a name="jumptome"></a>
Hmm... From that very page, I quote:
"Destination anchors in HTML documents may be specified either by the
A element (naming it with the name attribute), or by any other element
(naming with the id attribute)."
So no, you don't (or at least shouldn't) have to use an anchor
element, provided you use the id attribute instead of name.
On a slightly different note, is anyone actively maintaining the
site cited in the test case by AP? Some of the links on the page
http://www.alanflavell.org.uk/unicode/ seem to be broken.
(1) Clicking on the Gen'l cat'y link in the header row takes you
to http://www.alanflavell.org.uk/unicode/#gencat
(2) Clicking on the General Category Values link in the text on
that page gives a 404 response for the link target,
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UCD.html#General_Category_Values
A number of the other unicode.org links also give 404 responses.
Ordinarily, I'd notify the page author directly, but that isn't
possible here...

Yes, me.

Bugger. That's the first that anybody has spotted since I uploaded the
pages two and a half years ago!

I will need to study the original pages (which were rather distorted
when I received them) and see what ought to be happening, and why it
isn't. I am afraid this is something which I probably won't have time
to do until the Long Break - but it will occupy my time nicely then,
when everybody else is drink-driving.

I suspect a reorganization on the unicode.org site may partly be to
blame...

That actually sounds like a pretty good plan!
Tell you what, although I've diarised it, how's about you remind me when
the solstice comes? In case I end up eating walnuts and chocolates and
reading trash novels for the duration?
